P. STEM Pipeline
Expand hands-on ZAP summer camp offerings. Provide priority funding for summer camps.• Action
• Develop RFP to fund ZAP camps for summer 2010.
• Hold ZAP-camp 2010 spring conference to share best practices, discuss assessment, and build a community of ZAP camps.
Expand Rube Goldberg and other competitions, building on the existing successful events.• Action
• Conduct Rube Goldberg competitions
• Display results at The Works
K. Knowledge Center Draw on expertise of advisory board members to identify and explore advanced
technologies.• Action
• Identify advanced technologies such as ISO 50001, Cap and Trade, energy management, welding, applications of traditional manufacturing processes in biotechnology, etc.
• Form steering committee to work with partner schools to identify their expertise in identified areas of interest and establishing lead institution for that technology.
Create energy optimization programming.• Action
